6/24/05: India: Nursing a grudge:"Although nursing is a sought-after profession abroad, Indians still stigmatise it as dirty," says Ivy Cherian, who worked in the Gulf for three years before moving to the US in 2004. "Our people are happy about the money we bring home. But — though they don't tell us so openly — they feel that interacting closely with the sick is not `respectable'."

So it sounds like nursing is a fine profession to go into in India, as long as you don't plan on practicing in India.

So much for a positive image of nursing.
